Mecklenburg-Vorpommern Festival: Versailles & Sanssouci

Chamber Academy Potsdam

Gábor Boldoczki trumpet, flugelhorn

Peter Rainer violin, conductor

What does music from the pen of Frederick the Great sound like? And who composed for the "Sun King" Louis XIV in Versailles at the time? The answers can be found at this concert, which paints a magnificent picture of royal concert life between Potsdam and Paris. Trumpet virtuoso and Festival prizewinner Gábor Boldoczki adds a special sparkle to the evening, bringing the sound of days gone by into the present with his own arrangements.
